I’m extremely excited to announce that my new recording will be officially released on
August 13, 2008 on the K-Tone Enterprise Label. Titled “A Grateful Heart, Kevin Toney Solo”, it is my first solo piano recording and features ten new original compositions. Check out song samples for all songs on the music page of this website. Special edition autographed CD’s are available for purchase at the website only. The new CD is also available for purchase at Amazon.com, CD Baby.com and Itunes.

The Kevin Toney Collection Volume 1 is now available for purchase at Amazon.com. It is also now available directly on my website. It is a collection of 24 of my original recorded songs in fake book format for all instruments.

I’m truly honored about my upcoming concert performance at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado on August 26, 2008. It is part of the Jazz and Blues Festival taking place at Downtown Denver’s Historic Five Points. For further information: http://www.denverjazzfestival2008.com/artists.shtml

As part of our Toney Family Foundation, I performed on June 16, 2008 with the Inglewood High School Jazz band. The event was held at the newly opened “Crozier Performing Arts Center” and was part of a fundraiser for the new building. This building will not only be a huge benefit to Crozier Junior High School but to the city of Inglewood, California community itself. It was a great opportunity to give and share with young, eager and talented students. The wonderful and hardest working music instructor in public schools, Conrad Hutchinson, directed the band. Our foundation donated ninety CD’s of A Grateful Heart to this event.

The month of June had me in the studio recording with father and son producing team Yochanan and Jerry Marcellino. The project was for top Israel performer Rita Klienstien. Tracks featured Freddie Fox on guitar, Andre Manga on bass, Sandra Simmons and Dominique Toney (my daughter) doing background vocals.

I want to give the following birthday shout outs to my brothers Solomon Toney (May 16), Derrick Toney (August 7), sisters Wynnie K (July 10), Hefen (June 25) and daughter Dominique (June 25). Thank you all for your continued support and may God continue to bless all of you and your families.

Peace, blessings and love,

KT
